Nikon NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ

The NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ is a full-frame power zoom lens built for video. It covers 28–135 mm with a constant f/4 aperture, its optics are designed for 8K recording, and the smooth power zoom offers 11 speeds with the Z9, Z8 and Z6III. It has a zoom rocker, gears for follow focus, a 95 mm filter thread, and is gimbal-friendly.

A professional video lens

Optics designed for in-camera 8K open up new possibilities for solo creators and small crews: 8K footage leaves plenty of room for cropping in post-production and a 4K output. The video-specific optical design also shows very little focus shift when zooming.

Controls for filmmakers

The zoom rocker controls a smooth power zoom with ease-in and ease-out and, with the Z9, Z8 and Z6III, 11 selectable speeds for precise framing and natural transitions. The rings have 0.8 module gears for follow focus and other professional gear, 95 mm filters can be screwed on, and the centre of gravity does not shift when zooming, so the lens also suits a gimbal.

Versatile range and close-ups

The 28–135 mm range covers the most-used focal lengths, so a single lens takes you quickly from a wide shot to a close-up. The minimum focus distance is 0.34 m from 28 to 50 mm and 0.57 m at 135 mm, with a maximum reproduction ratio of 0.25×. The optics include ED glass and aspherical elements, Meso Amorphous Coat and a fluorine-coated front element. The lens has a tripod collar.
